Tips for the adventure
- Only Pig can see the secret coins. If you have transformed into another Bloxie, switch back when you are looking for coins.
- Talk to everyone you meet. The Blobbies on Zorax tell you where the switches are.
- Touch the flags (checkpoints). If you fall off somewhere, you start again at the last flag.
- Look up every now and then: the lucky burger van drops burgers on little parachutes. Every burger is worth 5 coins.
- Stuck somewhere? Maybe you need the power of a different Bloxie.
Times Tables with Roast Chicken
Pick the table you want to practise. Chicken asks a sum and you give the answer. Chicken helps with handy tricks, and you earn stars and stickers. There is no rush: take your time to think.
Drag Race
Pick your Bloxie and an opponent: Cow (easy), Dog (normal), Panther (fast) or Shark (champion). Wait until the light turns green and then tap the screen as fast as you can, or press the space bar. Every tap gives your car a little push. Tip: tap with two fingers, taking turns.
Flappy Fish
Pick Little Fish, Shark or Whale and tap Swim. Your fish swims forward by itself and slowly sinks. Tap the screen or press the space bar to swim up. Swim between the plants: every plant is one point. It slowly gets a little harder.
At the top right you can see the world top 10: the best scores of everyone who plays Flappy Fish, on every phone, tablet or computer. If you get a score that fits in, you can enter your first name or a nickname.
